Coaching StartUp Secrets

In today’s episode, Karim has a big question for you, what is your growth plan?

Do you have one? And if you already have a growth plan, have you built it a three years growth plan or five years growth plan, if you do not have,

What is stopping you to do it, and why this growth plan is such an important thing in our life?

So today we are going to talk about the importance of having a growth plan, and how it really can transform our life.

If we let our growth comes automatically, we're going to grow but the way others want us to grow, not the way we want.

Growth is something intentional.

If we do not decide about our growth, we will be following other people's vision priorities, and preferences.

If we do not sit intentionally and decide personally about our goals, we're going to find ourselves just following what the majority decides for us.

The majority is not always true.

Whether we take control, or someone else will, there's nothing in between.

It's funny how there's always someone close to us who's ready to decide for us.

When others decide for us, they're going to consider us as part of their plan so we can help them achieve their plan.

I don't think that any one of us wants to live other people's lives.

Growth is not automatic, and it will never be. Growth is a choice.

We need to keep growth pace, and we need to be consistent.

leaving our comfort zone and leaving all our habits and building new habits, it's a bit challenging.

In today’s episode with Karim, we're going to explore one of the universal laws in terms of business. It's one of the most common laws that in fact, it made a kind of revolution when it was highlighted in the early 1900s by the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto.

Karim is going to talk about the 80/20 law. In 1906, the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto has introduced the Pareto law, many of you know it as the 80/20 law or the law of few.

It is one of the most important laws if not only in economics, in business, in life in everything.

80/20 law, and how to apply it in our coaching business, whether in the business itself or in the sessions and everywhere else.

This law was in fact a great revelation.

You will recognize that we are using it everywhere, business, family, etc…

80% of the work within the organizations is done by 20% of the employees.

80% of the sales value is made by 20% of the customers.

when it comes to roads, 80% of the traffic within the city or the country, it's happening on 20% of the roads

The law is applied to almost everything.

It's important to highlight that sometimes maybe it's not just at 80/20 it can be like 85/15, 90/10 or it can be like 75/25.

When it comes to us as coaches considering this law, we will figure out that 20% of our existing clients are behind 80% of our income.

We need to focus on the 20%, which is generating 80%.

We need to add more value and focus more on that 20% because they are generating 80%.

We need to build our business according to the 20% needs.

The whole concept is around using this law of 80/20 in our benefits in a way to maximize our outcome.

I quickly realized that there wasn't a job that was really calling me, there wasn't something that I was really passionate about, because it wasn't for me.

The second question is, should that stop me? If I have the capabilities and knowledge to actually build up towards creating a business, as well as the confidence to keep it going and move it forward? Then why not test it out?

I trusted myself enough to actually start honing my skill.

It was a bit difficult for me to accept that just by speaking with someone you can change his life.

keep on getting training, looking for training to summit's advice and stuff like that, I was doing everything to develop my skills, and not myself.

The other advice I'd give for coaches is, quite frankly, just go out and try. You're going to learn so much about yourself and do this process, both of coaching others and yourself when you're in that experience.

Today’s episode with Karim is about one of the big questions many coaches ask, Is do we need to prepare for each and every coaching session, even if the client we just met last week, or if this is a client that we've been with him for months or years?

And this is with no doubt one of the most asked questions by Karim’s students whenever they are at the beginning of their career, or they've been coaching for a long time.

And this is one of the questions that usually pop up. So, let's dig deep and check how important it is. And is it really needed to prepare for each and every session?

// O V E R V I E W

You can start your session without preparing. But this won't be the session that you as a coach want to deliver, or the clients want to receive from you.

You need to be prepared for the client.

The success of the coaching session is based on how ready you are and how prepared you are for the session.

How prepared you are for this specific client and for his specific goal.

How prepared you are to jump from the journey that you've been in with another client to jump in the train and the journey with this new client.

It's not something that we are getting by default.

if you think you're good enough, not to prepare your session, that simply means that you are missing something part of the fundamentals of the coaching from the beginning, which is respecting this client and getting ready for this client.

This type of commitment, this type of partnership, is the type of preparation that you're going to show for the client, which is going to be also mirrored by the client and will be reflected by the client himself.

If you are committed to the client, if you are preparing for the client, you got to agree on a couple of actions that he has to do them, he got to commit and he got to do them because he feels that you are committed to him

Get ready, get ready, and prepare for each and every session with your clients.

Today’s episode with Karim is about one of the things that we mostly think about, whenever we are meeting someone new or about ourselves is:

Whether we are extroverts or introverts?

And which one is good being an extrovert is good or being an introvert is better. What about the ambivert, and when it comes to people classification whether again ourselves or our clients or people that we are meeting and dealing with them every day based on their behavior

We can identify what type of people they are; we're going to explore today with Karim which one is better?

Which one is better for us as a coach, which is better to be as an introvert, as an extrovert, or as an ambivert?

Introvert people are the people who recharging themselves by spending time alone reflecting alone, time sitting on the beach or writing, or the areas with less noise where they need to recharge themselves.

This is how they feel comfortable, and this is how they re-fuel, so they can have a better life after, better work or better relations with others.

Extrovert people, they're totally the opposite because they recharge themselves by socializing. the more they are with the crowd the better they feel. they feel better when they are within a crowd.

Introvert people take their time before making decisions. even if they're taking a small decision

In terms of interactions, introvert people, when they're ln one to one with someone, they listen more, you find them focusing, listening. They spend less time talking and they're more into listening,

The extrovert people are speaking more. they are the loud people. If you noticed someone in an area who was loud speaking. Those are the extrovert people.

Coaching, starting point is not the date of signing the contract, the real coaching is going to start from the time you reach a high level of connection with your client, with the group, or within an organization,

An ambivert is an area in the spectrum.

An ambivert is in the middle when someone is not an extrovert and not an introvert, this is the area that we call the ambivert.

The ambivert is that area in the spectrum that will allow us to be flexible with both sides.

Flexibility is key here. understanding those concepts is with extreme importance for coaches so that they can take their business to another level and connect more with their clients and gain them

Today’s episode with Karim is a very important episode for coaches as we are going to explore the key.

One of the most important keys for success, Karim is going to say that this is the golden thing in coaching, and this is what makes the difference between coaches, and this is what makes coaches more efficient. which is practice.

Today Karim is going to talk about the importance of practice.

Michael Jordan, who was daily practicing for hours after, everyone, went back home for normal regular training sessions and he kept on practicing and practicing and practicing.

Pablo Picasso produced over 147,800 pieces of art during his lifetime.

As coaches practice is the only and unique key to master the skill.

Malcolm Gladwell, in his book, Outliers, was talking about the 10,000 hours rule. highlighted a kind of concept that 10,000 is the key number of practice hours that separate great people from others.

Whether 10,000 hours is the right number or not, the important fact here is the importance of practice.

More practice is going to bring more easiness in doing what we are doing.

More practice is going to help doing fewer mistakes.

We're going to improve the quality of what we are doing. Practice In fact leads to doing the regular things in autopilot mode.

Autopilot mode is going to leave us room for creativity and innovation.

Practice helps us when there's something complicated, to deal with it in a faster and more efficient way.

For coaches, practice is also a key to growth, we grow after each client because it's not only about the skill of coaching but also about connection.

By practicing we are adding value to others and to ourselves.

Today’s episode with Karim and today he will be talking about, what's the worst thing that can happen to someone who's doing pretty good in his business on his job or profession.

He's doing good, what's the worst thing that can happen to him during today's episode, Karim will go through one of the smoothest killer for coaches, and business growth in general.

Which is Being good.

Being good is one of the growth's worst enemies.

When we're not doing good. we think more, we invest more, we search more, we read more, we explore more, we travel more, we build more connections.

Once we make it, the majority are going to start having a feeling of satisfaction.

It's important that we're going to congratulate ourselves, we get to feel very fulfilled.

There's a trap here, that only a small minority, keeps looking up.

Those who are heading into the life coaching industry, or they're in and they keep their flame always alive, they will never stop searching, growing, working, collaborating, exploring studies.

A majority fail in doing that.

We got to get it step by step and improve.

It's a journey that we need to be always active.

last time, you were with us. And you've been exploring the emotional intelligence important in the business of a coach. And you highlighted at that time that when you look into the businesses, and from your previous experience, the main challenges and issues within businesses, they are not about the technicality, they are not about the business itself.

They're not about the procedures, processes, and so on and so forth. But they're about people and you mentioned that we're going to put them in just mainly three points. The main one, that's the ego, the individualism, and the blame catch. Now, maybe you’re highlighting this in the business, but I don't know, and correct me if I'm wrong. In fact, this other chance even with our businesses within the family, within the street. Join our Facebook Group: Goal Getters Nation

We use assumption as a very synthetic idea of view, of what's happening around us.

Negative modesty is another business killer for sure.

Know that business is a projection of who you are.

That business module relies on two ingredients, authenticity and transparency.

Be sure that you have the desire to create the outcome for what you've just agreed to.

Do you think that when acting at this level of transparency and authenticity it will reflect in their behaviors towards us?

When you practice, you know, Authenticity, 100% authenticity, and transparency within your business.

You will find you attract to that same quality of authenticity, and transparency.

These are the successes in life.

So many coaches struggle because they're trying to sell too much.

The moment we try owning those qualities and controlling them for the rewards or the profits of the business. That's when businesses lose chunks of the of our market.

You need to niche about 10 times before you've got your place of excellence as a coach.

Once you get to that 10th niche, then you niche again, two or three times, and then you get that place of brilliance.
